Prefixes and suffixes are sets of letters that are added to existing words to alter their meaning and form new words. Common prefixes include anti-, dis-, de-, ex-, and mis-. Common suffixes include -ly, -less, -able, and -ful. Examples are provided of adding prefixes like un- or multi- and suffixes like -ish or -er to words to demonstrate how they change the meaning and create a new word. Prefixes and suffixes cannot stand alone and require a base word.
The document discusses prefixes and provides examples of how prefixes can change the meaning of words. It focuses on the prefixes "un-", "dis-", "re-", "de-", and "pre-". The objectives are to understand what a prefix is, and to recognize and spell the prefixes "un" and "dis". Examples are given of words with these prefixes and how they alter the meaning of the root word, often making it an antonym. Students are asked to add prefixes to words and identify prefixes in other words. The purpose is to help students learn about prefixes and how they affect a word's definition.
This document discusses prefixes and suffixes. It provides examples of how prefixes and suffixes can change the meaning of words. Prefixes are added to the beginning of words, while suffixes are added to the end. Some key points made are:
- Prefixes like "pre", "im", and "non" can mean "before", "not", and "without" respectively.
- Suffixes like "-less", "-ful", and "-ness" can mean "without", "full of", and "state of being".
- Root words are the base words that prefixes and suffixes are added to in order to form new words.
- Adding prefixes and suffixes to root words changes the meaning of the word.
This document discusses prefixes and suffixes and how they alter word meanings. Prefixes are added to the beginning of words and suffixes are added to the end. Common prefixes discussed include "un-", "dis-", "im-", and "re-", and their use to create opposites or repeat actions. Suffixes like "-ful", "-ous", "-or", and "-er" are also examined, showing how they change words to describe states of being or people who perform actions. Examples are provided to illustrate the meaning changes caused by different prefixes and suffixes.
English Suffixes to Improve Your VocabularyKelly Tracy
Every English learner wants to improve their vocabulary. You can grow your vocabulary power quickly and efficiently by learning word parts!
English borrow many words and word parts from other languages, especially Latin and Greek. One kind of word part is suffixes. A suffix is added to the end of a word to change its meaning, and often its part of speech as well. The same suffixes are used in many words, so if you know some common ones, it will be easier to figure out the meanings of new words.
The document discusses the different types of clauses that can be used in sentences, including independent clauses, dependent clauses, noun clauses, adjective clauses, and adverb clauses. It provides examples and explanations of each clause type, how they are used, and how clauses can be connected to form complete sentences. Understanding clauses is important for avoiding errors like fragments and run-ons and for becoming a stronger writer.
This document is the table of contents for a grammar book titled "My Grammar Book" by Ricardo Smith. It covers various topics of Spanish grammar including nationalities, stem-changing verbs, uses of para, adjectives, object pronouns, ser vs estar, -ísimo and g/c/z changes, verbs like gustar, affirmative and negative words, pero vs sino, reflexive verbs, command forms, modal verbs, mente, past participles, preterite, and present progressive tenses. For each topic, it provides examples and explanations of the related grammar concepts.
The document discusses what makes a complete sentence and provides examples of subjects and verbs. A complete sentence requires a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. Subjects are usually nouns or pronouns, while verbs express actions or states of being. There are some exceptions, such as sentences beginning with "there" where the subject comes after the verb, and imperative or command sentences where the subject is implied as "you".

Subjects are usually nouns or pronouns, while verbs express actions or states of being. There are some exceptions, such as sentences beginning with "there" where the subject comes after the verb, and imperative or command sentences where the subject is implied as "you".
An adjective complement is a phrase that modifies or adds meaning to an adjective. It always follows the adjective and is either a noun clause or prepositional phrase. Some examples of sentences with adjective complements underlined are "She was hesitant to tell her parents" and "Are you afraid of spiders?". In addition to adjective complements, there are also subject complements, object complements, and verb complements that can modify nouns and verbs.
Prefixes, suffixes, and root words are the basic building blocks of words. Prefixes are added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning, while suffixes are added to the end. Understanding common prefixes like "pre-" and "un-" and suffixes like "-less" and "-er" can help deduce the meaning of unfamiliar words. The document provides examples of prefixes, suffixes, and how understanding their meanings makes learning new vocabulary quicker and easier.
Gerunds and infinitives can both be used as subjects or objects in sentences. Gerunds refer to real or completed actions, like "I stopped smoking" where the smoking happened. Infinitives refer to unreal, abstract, or future actions, like "I stopped to smoke" where the smoking had not occurred yet. Both gerunds and infinitives can be subjects or objects of verbs. However, only gerunds can be objects of prepositions, such as "We are talking about writing in English."
A complement is a word or group of words that completes the predicate of a sentence. There are four main types of complements: predicate nominative, predicate adjective, direct object, and indirect object. A predicate nominative renames or identifies the subject and follows a linking verb. A predicate adjective modifies the subject and also follows a linking verb. A direct object receives or shows the result of an action verb. An indirect object indicates "to whom" or "for whom" and precedes the direct object after an action verb.
This document discusses the differences between active and passive voice in English sentences. It explains that in active voice, the subject performs the action, while in passive voice, the subject receives the action. The document provides instructions for changing active sentences to passive, including changing the subject and object positions and adding a form of "be" plus the past participle verb. It discusses when to use passive voice, such as when the action is more important than the actor, and common mistakes to avoid, like using passive forms with verbs that cannot be passive.
This document discusses root words, prefixes, and suffixes. It explains that root words are the basic words that can have prefixes added to the beginning or suffixes added to the end to change the meaning. Prefixes and suffixes are groups of letters that are added to root words. Common prefixes discussed include "un", "mis", "sub", and "pre", along with their meanings. Examples are given of how prefixes change the meaning of words. Suffixes are also explained as changing the meaning when added to the end of words. Some common suffixes and their meanings are listed such as "-s", "-ing", "-er", and "-ful".
This document discusses the simple past tense in English. It provides examples of how to form the simple past of regular and irregular verbs. It also outlines the rules for forming affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences in the simple past. Specifically, it explains that the simple past is used to describe completed actions in the past and involves using the past tense form of verbs. It also notes the use of the auxiliary "did" in interrogative and negative constructions.
This document discusses different types of clauses in English sentences. An independent clause can stand alone as a complete thought and sentence, while a subordinate clause does not express a complete thought on its own and must be part of a larger sentence. Subordinate clauses are introduced by subordinating conjunctions like "when", "because", and "before", and cannot stand alone as fragments without an independent clause. Determining if a clause is independent or subordinate can be tested by adding "I believe that..." before it - if it sounds like a complete sentence, it is independent, and if it sounds like a fragment, it is subordinate.
English Prefixes to Improve Your VocabularyKelly Tracy
English has many common word parts: prefixes, roots, and suffixes. If you learn some of these word parts, it will be easier for you to figure out the meanings of new words.
We can add a prefix to the beginning of a word to change its meaning.
The document defines and distinguishes between different types of clauses:
- Phrases contain a group of words with a noun and verb but do not express a complete thought.
- Independent clauses can stand alone as a complete sentence. Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as they are incomplete and require an independent clause.
- Dependent clauses are introduced with subordinating conjunctions like "although", "before", and "because" and require an independent clause to complete the sentence.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of participles in English grammar:
- Present participles represent ongoing or incomplete actions, such as "carrying" or "knocking".
- Past participles represent completed actions, such as "deceived" or "laden".
- Participle adjectives are participles used as adjectives to describe nouns, like "losing" or "pressing".
The document provides examples for each type and notes that participles can be identified by their use in a sentence. It also mentions including a list of participles but does not provide one.
The gerund looks exactly the same as a present participle, but it is useful to understand the difference between the two. The gerund always has the same function as a noun (although it looks like a verb). In this Power Point Presentation I clearly Discussed about the Grammar Gerunds. Please use this Power Point for your Reference Purpose
The document discusses rules for using the simple past tense in English. It describes how regular verbs are formed by adding "-ed" and irregular verbs must be memorized. There are some exceptions for verbs ending in consonants and vowels where the final letter is changed or doubled. Examples are provided to illustrate affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences using the simple past tense.
The document discusses adverbs and adverbial phrases. It defines adverbs as words that add meaning to verbs by describing how, when, where or why an action occurs. The document outlines the three types of adverbs - positive, comparative, and superlative - and provides examples. It also defines adverbial phrases as groups of words beginning with a preposition that act as a single adverb.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of clauses, including main clauses, dependent clauses, adjective clauses, adverb clauses, noun clauses, and relative clauses. It also distinguishes clauses from phrases by noting that clauses contain a subject and verb and can express a complete thought, whereas phrases lack subjects and verbs. Examples are provided to illustrate each type of clause and how they function within sentences.
This document provides guidance on correctly using adjectives and adverbs. It defines adjectives as words that modify nouns and adverbs as words that modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. It discusses recognizing and forming comparatives and superlatives, avoiding double comparatives and misplaced modifiers, and forming compound adjectives. The document aims to help the reader accurately and clearly use adjectives and adverbs in writing.
Transitive. intransitive verbs by javier burgosBIZ University
Verbs can express actions or states of being. There are two main types of verbs - action verbs and linking verbs. Action verbs take direct objects, while linking verbs link subjects to nouns or adjectives and do not take direct objects. Verbs have principal parts including the root form, past tense form, present participle form, and past participle form. Helping verbs are used with verb forms to create different tenses. Verbs can also vary by voice, mood, and whether they are transitive or intransitive.
- The document discusses the suffixes -able and -ible and provides tips to help determine which suffix to use when spelling words.
- -able and -ible both mean "able to be" and are used in words like readable, eatable, audible, and collapsible.
- Tip 1 for -able words is that it is the more common suffix, used in hundreds of words, so it is statistically more likely to be correct. Tip 2 is that if the root word stands alone, it usually takes -able.
- For -ible words, the tips are that there are a limited set of common words that take -ible, and the root is less likely to stand alone as an English word.
The document discusses the proper use of adjectives and adverbs. It defines adjectives as words that modify nouns and pronouns, and adverbs as words that modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. It provides examples of adjectives and adverbs, and discusses their comparative and superlative forms. It also covers compound adjectives and advises placing adjectives and adverbs close to the words they modify.

This document discusses the simple past tense in English. It begins by explaining that the simple past is used to talk about things that happened in the past. It then describes the different ways to form the past tense for regular and irregular verbs. For regular verbs, the simple past is formed by adding "-ed" to the base verb. There are some exceptions. Irregular verbs have unique past tense forms that must be memorized. The document provides examples of affirmative and negative sentences in the simple past and includes sample dialog for practice using this tense.
An adjective complement is a phrase that modifies or adds meaning to an adjective. It always follows the adjective and is either a noun clause or prepositional phrase. Some examples of sentences with adjective complements underlined are "She was hesitant to tell her parents" and "Are you afraid of spiders?". In addition to adjective complements, there are also subject complements, object complements, and verb complements that can modify nouns and verbs.

However, only gerunds can be objects of prepositions, such as "We are talking about writing in English."
A complement is a word or group of words that completes the predicate of a sentence. There are four main types of complements: predicate nominative, predicate adjective, direct object, and indirect object. A predicate nominative renames or identifies the subject and follows a linking verb. A predicate adjective modifies the subject and also follows a linking verb. A direct object receives or shows the result of an action verb. An indirect object indicates "to whom" or "for whom" and precedes the direct object after an action verb.

Presentation related to the differences between can and could. also, the formation of sentences using could in affirmative, neagtive and questions. Finally, a brief explanation of the differences between adjectives and adverbs of manner.
The document appears to be notes from a review of English grammar tenses and structures. It covers the following topics in order: present simple, present progressive, past simple, past progressive, present perfect simple, comparatives and superlatives, future with "will", infinitives, and passive voice. For each topic, it provides examples of formation and usage. The document aims to concisely explain key rules and structures for several English tenses.
This document provides information about adjectives including:
- What adjectives are and how they describe nouns
- Position of adjectives before and after nouns or linking verbs
- Formation of comparative and superlative adjectives
- Suffixes that can be added to nouns and verbs to form adjectives
- Spelling rules for adding suffixes to words
- Choosing between -ing and -ed adjectives
- Opposite adjectives using prefixes like dis-, in-, un-
This document provides an overview of verbs, including:
1. Adjectives and adverbs allow sentences to be more descriptive. Adjectives modify nouns and adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
2. Verbs express actions, events, or states of being. They indicate what the subject is doing. Verbs have different forms depending on tense, voice, and mood.
3. Verb phrases contain a main verb and one or more helping verbs. Helping verbs aid in expressing time or action. Linking verbs connect the subject to a descriptive word.
This presentation defines and describes different types of nouns:
1. Nouns are naming words that can refer to people, places, objects, ideas, emotions, qualities and activities.
2. There are two main types of nouns - proper nouns, which begin with capital letters, and common nouns. Common nouns are further divided into countable and uncountable nouns.
3. Countable nouns can be pluralized and take indefinite articles like "a" or "an", while uncountable nouns cannot be pluralized and do not take indefinite articles. Both countable and uncountable nouns can also be concrete or abstract.
This document discusses countable and uncountable nouns. It defines nouns as names of people, places, things or ideas. Countable nouns can be counted and can be singular or plural, like "dog" or "dogs". Uncountable nouns are substances or concepts that cannot be counted, like "milk" or "information". It provides examples of countable nouns like "pen" and uncountable nouns like "electricity". It also discusses using "some" with uncountable and plural nouns in affirmative sentences and offers, and "any" in negative sentences and questions.
The document provides a review for a Spanish II mid-term exam, outlining various topics and grammar points students should study. It includes: listening questions focusing on comprehension; vocabulary from all units to study; cultural sections to review; ensuring strong knowledge of Unit 5; familiarity with present, preterite, and present progressive verb tenses; reflexive verbs; direct and indirect object pronouns; the verb "doler"; comparatives; and the uses of "ser" and "estar".
Gives a brief account of Verb Phrase in stylistics and the effect it creates on the text. It elaborates the different kind of Verbs, Simple VP, Compound VP, Infinitives, gerunds, transitive, Intransitive, Finite and Non-Finite verbs. It describes the influence of use of VP in Voices i.e. Active and Passive Voices.
The document is a Spanish lesson on pronouns and verb conjugation. It introduces various Spanish pronouns like yo (I), tu (you informal), el (he), ella (she), and ustedes (you plural/formal). It explains that verbs must be conjugated to match the subject pronoun by dropping letters like 'r' and adding endings. Several examples of conjugated verbs are provided like como (I eat), comes (you eat), and comemos (we eat).
The document discusses the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs. Transitive verbs take a direct object that receives the action of the verb, like "broke the window." Intransitive verbs do not take a direct object and the subject performs the action without anything receiving it, like "cried." It is important to understand whether a verb is transitive or intransitive in grammar. The document provides examples of common transitive and intransitive verbs and advises being careful not to mistake prepositional phrases or adverbs after a verb as making it transitive.
There are two main types of verbs: action verbs and linking verbs. Action verbs express physical or mental actions while linking verbs express a state of being and link the subject to a describing word. Some verbs can function as either main verbs or auxiliary/helping verbs. Whether a verb is transitive or intransitive depends on if the action passes from the subject to a direct object.
The document provides an overview of grammar concepts in Spanish including:
1. The preterite tense and how it is used to talk about completed past actions with examples of regular and irregular verb conjugations.
2. Imperfect tense and how it differs from preterite, using imperfect to describe ongoing or habitual past actions.
3. Comparatives and superlatives as well as future, por vs para, and other topics like ser vs estar and verbs like gustar.
The document provides an overview of grammar concepts in Spanish including:
1. The preterite tense and how it is used to talk about completed past actions with examples of common irregular preterite verbs.
2. The imperfect tense and how it differs from the preterite in referring to ongoing or habitual past actions through the use of trigger words.
3. Comparatives and superlatives in Spanish along with transition words.
4. The future tense including irregular verbs and how to identify it using future trigger words.
5. The difference between using "por" and "para" and examples of each.
The document provides an overview of Spanish grammar concepts including:
1) The preterite tense and how it is used to talk about completed past actions with examples of common irregular preterite verbs.
2) The imperfect tense and how it differs from the preterite in referring to ongoing or habitual past actions, along with irregular verbs in the imperfect.
3) Comparatives and superlatives in Spanish and how they are formed.
4) The future tense and how to conjugate regular verbs as well as irregular verbs like hacer and decir.
5) The difference between the uses of por and para in Spanish and examples of each.
This document provides information about the present simple tense in English grammar. It begins by defining the present simple tense and its uses, such as expressing habitual actions, states, feelings and emotions. It notes that the third person singular takes an -s ending. The document provides examples of affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences in the present simple tense. It then covers topics like the verb phrase "have got", the modal verb "can", personal pronouns, vocabulary including countries and jobs, adjectives describing appearance and personality, feelings and emotions, and concludes with a brief section on the present simple tense.
This document discusses the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs. Transitive verbs are verbs that take a direct object, such as "broke the window." Intransitive verbs do not take a direct object and describe actions where nothing receives the action, such as "cried." It is important to understand the difference, as many students and even native speakers can confuse whether a verb is transitive or intransitive. The document provides examples of common transitive and intransitive verbs and warns that prepositional phrases and adverbs do not make an intransitive verb transitive.
1) The document discusses various grammar topics including the past progressive tense, past simple vs past progressive, and present perfect simple tense.
2) Examples are provided for forming and using these tenses, such as "I was watching TV yesterday" and "I have travelled to the USA twice."
3) Vocabulary relating to food, experiences, and travel are also mentioned throughout the document.
